PyInstaller just packs the files on your computers together. If those files depend on a specific GLIBC, the only solution would be to ship glibc as well, but this has proven to create more problems than it solves. In a word, PyInstaller cannot compensate for the absence of an ABI. Our suggestion is to try and execute PyInstaller on the older operating system that you plan to support. This usually achieves the best results, because GLIBC developers maintain backward binary compatibility. -- Giovanni Bajo :: [email protected] Develer S.r.l. :: http://www.develer.com My Blog: http://giovanni.bajo.it Last post: Compile-time Function Execution in D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
